writes:Hello everyone. So, I need some help with something.You see, my mother(step mother) believes that I do not love or appreciate her because when my dad said that she and him were getting hitched, I didn't really say much. Let me say that I think that this is totally my fault.You see.....I suppose you can say that I am a very very emotional person I just tend to bottle things up a lot(Which isn't healthy) But I write a lot(which is healthy) ahaHowever, when ever I am challenged(it feels like a challenge) to express intense emotions that I feel towards someone that is important to me, like love or appreciation. I end up wanting to cry. And usually I do cry. And I hate crying about things like that(when people can see me)I should have acted a little more happier, I was, but if I did I would have broken down. I was actually crying when they left my room(like my eyes got all watery and things) Come to think of it, I cry a lot! Just not when people are around.I hate that I'm so emotional :( so I hide important feelings from others so that I don't feel overwhelmed. It's just...so embarrassing and uncomfortable.I can't even tell my father thank you for certain things because I am so used to hiding my emotions. I can't even write about intense things like that without shedding a few tears because my parents do so much for me and I don't even deserve it half the time. It makes me feel sad and happy at the same time.I usually write my mother letters to express feelings like that. I just wrote her a letter today explaining my reasons for not being so...receptive I guessBut I'd like to know like...is there anyway I can stop the need to want to cry every time things like this come up? Or is this just how I am? What should I do? Reply to this Question

 Partly it is your age. Your body is kinda whacked during your teenage years and mood swings can be gigantic. Lots of drama. Things will settle down in a few years and I think you won't need a box of tissue by your side 24/7.
